To assist you with the implementation of this project, we provide you with a Project Manual, containing detailed instructions and tools (posters, PowerPoint slides, handouts, evaluation forms), which can be modified to suit your specific needs. Download the MS-Word version: Project Manual (USA) or Project Manual (Canada). NOTE: This 28-page document will take 30 seconds to download and will open as an MS-Word document that you can modify as you customize your event. ALTERNATIVELY, if you DO NOT use MS Word, download the pdf version (which cannot be modified): pdf Project Manual (USA) or pdf Project Manual (Canada).
Benefits
- Free 12-month subscriptions to The BIG Guide Online will help add value and create a buzz for your international event. Advertise this limited-time offer to students and staff in conjunction with your event or series of events on campus. Depending on the level of marketing that is undertaken, a large number of staff and students can benefit from this free 12-month subscription.
- Student advisors will benefit greatly from use of The BIG Guide materials. International student advisors, academic advisors and student advisors from the career offices and study abroad offices will be able to access The BIG Guide Online to help with their student advising for a full year.
- The My Global Career Skills seminar is highly interactive and will boost student interest in going abroad. Each student will have access to The BIG Guide Online during the seminar (students are encouraged to bring their personal computers along). The seminar will boost their interest in international careers and present them with The BIG Guide resource.
- The long-term benefits of this service package are many. The BIG Guide Online is a resource designed for long-term use (multiple visits) and students who take advantage of all elements of the site will be well on their way to building global credentials. Staff and student advisors will have a strong resource to use when assisting students with international career goals. Users can also customize The BIG Guide with bookmarks, yellow highlights, personal notes and more.
- The Campus Event Service allows your school to assess student interest in our online resource before making a commitment to purchase our annual subscription service College Site Access to The BIG Guide Online. The Campus Event Service (three-week subscription period) is approximately 50% cheaper than College Site Access to The BIG Guide Online (52-week subscription period).
- To save 50%, schools may choose to purchase the Campus Event Service each year instead of the alternative 12-month subscription service College Site Access to The BIG Guide Online. If your budgets are tight, consider offering the Campus Event Service annually (each fall for example) to your students, student advisors and faculty.
